For the Amazon version of the character, see Starlight.

Starlight (real name Rebecca Anne "Annie" January) is a member of The Seven and former member of the conservative religious superhero team the Young Americans. She is friends with Wee Hughie although neither realizes what the other's "day job" is.

Powers and Abilities

  • Light Projection: Starlight possess the ability to generate, project and emanate a blinding light from her hands. Her light energy bursts are capable of blinding even super powered beings as demonstrated when A-Train attempted to force himself on Starlight, however earning her anger as she blinded him with an attack.
  • Flight
  • Super Hearing

Trivia

  • Ennis has stated that the relationship was not originally planned: "Annie started out as a joke, and was actually going to degenerate further in terms of the shit she'd put up with, the degradations she'd suffer just to be in the world's premier superteam. But I found myself writing Hughie moping in Central Park, and then to my great surprise I saw Annie coming walking down the path. That was when I realized I wanted to take her in a different direction, make her stronger and more rounded... I probably felt a bit guilty about Annie and ended up treating her a bit more responsibly as a result."
